FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to novel fused heterocycles which are useful as antagonists of the α_(v) β₃ and related integrin receptors, to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, processes for preparing such compounds, and to methods of using these compounds, alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents, for the inhibition of cell adhesion and the treatment of angiogenic disorders, inflammation, bone degradation, tumors, metastases, thrombosis, and other cell aggregation-related conditions.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Angiogenesis or neovascularization is critical for normal physiological processes such as embryonic development and wound repair (Folkman and Shing, J. Biol. Chem. 1992, 267:10931-10934; D'Amore and Thompson, Ann. Rev. Physiol. 1987, 49:453-464). However, angiogenesis occurs pathologically, for example, in ocular neovascularization (leading to diabetic retinopathy, neovascular glaucoma, retinal vein occlusion and blindness), in rheumatoid arthritis and in solid tumors (Folkman and Shing, J. Biol. Chem., 1992, 267:10931-10934; Blood and Zetter, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1990, 1032:118-128).

Tumor dissemination, or metastasis, involves several distinct and complementary components, including the penetration and transversion of tumor cells through basement membranes and the establishment of self-sustaining tumor foci in diverse organ systems. To this end, the development and proliferation of new blood vessels, or angiogenesis, is critical to tumor survival. Without neovascularization, tumor cells lack the nourishment to divide and will not be able to leave the primary tumor site (Folkman and Shing, J. Biol. Chem. 1992, 267:10931-10934).

Inhibition of angiogenesis in animal models of cancer has been shown to result in tumor growth suppression and prevention of metastatic growth (Herblin et al., Exp. Opin. Ther. Patents. 1994, 1-14). Many angiogenic inhibitors have been directed toward blocking initial cytokine-dependent induction of new vessel growth, e.g. antibodies to endothelial cell growth factors. However, these approaches are problematic because tumor and inflammatory cells can secrete multiple activators of angiogenesis (Brooks, et al., Cell 1994, 79:1157-1164). Therefore, a more general approach that would allow inhibition of angiogenesis due to a variety of stimuli would be of benefit.

The integrin α_(v) β₃ is preferentially expressed on angiogenic blood vessels in chick and man (Brooks, et al., Science 1994, 264:569-571; Enenstein and Kramer, J. Invest. Dermatol. 1994, 103:381-386). Integrin α_(v) β₃ is the most promiscuous member of the integrin family, allowing endothelial cells to interact with a wide variety of extracellular matrix components (Hynes, Cell 1992, 69:11-25). These adhesive interactions are considered to be critical for angiogenesis since vascular cells must ultimately be capable of invading virtually all tissues.

While integrin α_(v) β₃ promotes adhesive events important for angiogenesis, this receptor also transmits signals from the extracellular environment to the intracellular compartment (Leavesley, et al., J. Cell Biol. 1993, 121:163-170, 1993). For example, the interaction between the α_(v) β₃ integrin and extracellular matrix components promotes a calcium signal required for cell motility.

During endothelium injury, the basement membrane zones of blood vessels express several adhesive proteins, including but not limited to von Willebrand factor, fibronectin, and fibrin. Additionally, several members of the integrin family of adhesion receptors are expressed on the surface of endothelial, smooth muscle and on other circulating cells. Among these integrins is α_(v) β₃, the endothelial cell, fibroblast, and smooth muscle cell receptor for adhesive proteins including von Willebrand factor, fibrinogen (fibrin), vitronectin, thrombospondin, and osteopontin. These integrins initiate a calcium-dependent signaling pathway that can lead to endothelial cell, smooth muscle cell migration and, therefore, may play a fundamental role in vascular cell biology.

An antibody to the α_(v) β₃ integrin has been developed that inhibits the interaction of this integrin with agonists such as vitronectin (Brooks, et al., Science 1994, 264:569-571). Application of this antibody has been shown to disrupt ongoing angiogenesis on the chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), leading to rapid regression of histologically distinct human tumor transplanted onto the CAM (Brooks, et al., Cell 1994, 79:1157-1164). In this model, antagonists of the α_(v) β₃ integrin induced apoptosis of the proliferating angiogenic vascular cells, leaving pre-existing quiescent blood vessels unaffected. Thus, α_(v) β₃ integrin antagonists have been shown to inhibit angiogenesis. Based on this property, therapeutic utility of such agents is expected in human diseases such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and ocular vasculopathies (Folkman and Shing, J. Biol. Chem. 1992, 267:10931-10934).

Increasing numbers of other cell surface receptors have been identified which bind to extracellular matrix ligands or other cell adhesion ligands thereby mediating cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion processes. These receptors belong to a gene superfamily called integrins and are composed of heterodimeric transmembrane glycoproteins containing α- and β-subunits. Integrin subfamilies contain a common β-subunit combined with different α-subunits to form adhesion receptors with unique specificity. The genes for eight distinct β-subunits have been cloned and sequenced to date.

Two members of the β₁ subfamily, α₄ β₁ and α₅ β₁ have been implicated in various inflammatory processes. Antibodies to α4 prevent adhesion of lymphocytes to synovial endothelial cells in vitro, a process which may be of importance in rheumatoid arthritis (VanDinther-Janssen, et al., J. Immunol. 1991, 147:4207). Additional studies with monoclonal anti-α4antibodies provide evidence that α₄ β₁ may additionally have a role in allergy, asthma, and autoimmune disorders (Walsh, et al., J. Immunol. 1991, 146:3419; Bochner, et al., J. Exp. Med. 1991 173:1553; Yednock, et al., Nature 1992, 356:63). Anti-α4 antibodies also block the migration of leukocytes to the site of inflammation (Issedutz, et al., J. Immunol. 1991, 147:4178).

The α_(v) β₃ heterodimer is a member of the β₃ integrin subfamily and has been identified on platelets, endothelial cells, melanoma, smooth muscle cells, and osteoclasts (Horton and Davies, J. Bone Min. Res. 1989, 4:803-808; Davies, et al., J. Cell. Biol. 1989, 109:1817-1826; Horton, Int. J. Exp. Pathol. 1990, 71:741-759). Like GPIIb/IIIa, the vitronectin receptor binds a variety of RGD-containing adhesive proteins such as vitronectin, fibronectin, VWF, fibrinogen, osteopontin, bone sialo protein II and thrombospondin in a manner mediated by the RGD sequence. A key event in bone resorption is the adhesion of osteoclasts to the matrix of bone. Studies with monoclonal antibodies have implicated the α_(v) β₃ receptor in this process and suggest that a selective α_(v) β₃ antagonist would have utility in blocking bone resorption (Horton, et al., J. Bone Miner. Res. 1993, 8:239-247; Helfrich, et al., J. Bone Miner. Res. 1992, 7:335-343)

The compounds herein described may have asymmetric centers. Unless otherwise indicated, all chiral, diastereomeric and racemic forms are included in the present invention. Many geometric isomers of olefins, C═N double bonds, and the like can also be present in the compounds described herein, and all such stable isomers are contemplated in the present invention. It will be appreciated that compounds of the present invention that contain asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms may be isolated in optically active or racemic forms. It is well known in the art how to prepare optically active forms, such as by resolution of racemic forms or by synthesis, from optically active starting materials. All chiral, diastereomeric, racemic forms and all geometric isomeric forms of a structure are intended, unless the specific stereochemistry or isomer form is specifically indicated.

When any variable (for example but not limited to, R², R⁴, R⁶, R⁷, R⁸, R¹², and R¹⁴, n, etc.) occurs more than one time in any constituent or in any formula, its definition on each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Thus, for example, if a group is shown to be substituted with 0-2 R⁴, then said group may optionally be substituted with up to two R⁴ and R⁴ at each occurrence is selected independently from the defined list of possible R⁴. Also, by way of example, for the group --N(R^(5a))₂, each of the two R^(5a) substituents on N is independently selected from the defined list of possible R^(5a). Similarly, by way of example, for the group --C(R⁷)₂ --, each of the two R⁷ substituents on C is independently selected from the defined list of possible R⁷.

When a bond to a substituent is shown to cross the bond connecting two atoms in a ring, then such substituent may be bonded to any atom on the ring. When a bond joining a substituent to another group is not specifically shown or the atom in such other group to which the bond joins is not specifically shown, then such substituent may form a bond with any atom on such other group.

When a substituent is listed without indicating the tom via which such substituent is bonded to the rest of the compound of Formulae I-IV, then such substituent may be bonded via any atom in such substituent. For example, when the substituent is piperazinyl, piperidinyl, or tetrazolyl, unless specified otherwise, said piperazinyl, piperidinyl, tetrazolyl group may be bonded to the rest of the compound of Formulae I-IV via any atom in such piperazinyl, piperidinyl, tetrazolyl group.

Combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds. By stable compound or stable structure it is meant herein a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation to a useful degree of purity from a reaction mixture, and formulation into an efficacious therapeutic agent.

The term "substituted", as used herein, means that any one or more hydrogen on the designated atom is replaced with a selection from the indicated group, provided that the designated atom's normal valency is not exceeded, and that the substitution results in a stable compound. When a substituent is keto (i.e., ═O), then 2 hydrogens on the atom are replaced.

Synthesis

The compounds of the present invention can be prepared in a number of ways well known to one skilled in the art of organic synthesis. The compounds of the present invention can be synthesized using the methods described below, together with synthetic methods known in the art of synthetic organic chemistry, or variations thereof as appreciated by those skilled in the art. Preferred methods include, but are not limited to, those described below. All literature cited herein is incorporated in its entirety by reference.

Compounds of Formulae I-IV can be conveniently prepared by cyclization of aniline derived aminomethylenemalonates (Gould-Jacobs reaction, for a review of quinolone synthesis, see Radl, S.; Bouzard, D. Recent Advances in the Synthesis of Antibacterial Quinolones. Heterocycles 1992, 34:2143-2177).

Scheme I illustrates a synthetic sequence which will provide the quinolones of this invention. Reaction of a 3-Bromoaniline with diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate (Albrect, R. Prog. Drug Res. 1977, 21:9) results in a vinylogous amide which is cyclized in diphenyl ether at reflux to afford the 7-bromoquinolone. After N¹ -alkylation, the bromide is converted to an olefin via Stille coupling to a vinyltin species or Heck olefination using styrene. Ozonolysis of the olefin provides the aldehyde.

Reductive amination of the intermediate aldehyde (for suitable methods see, Abdel-Magid, A. F.; Maryanoff, C. A.; Carson, K. G. Tetrahedron Lett. 1990, 31:5595-5598, and references contained therein) with a variety of heteroaryl amines, which may additionally contain suitable protecting groups, provides the substituted amines. Alternatively, depending on the nature of the heterocyclic amine, the reductive amination can be carried out in a two step procedure, wherein initial formation of an imine is carried out by treatment of the aldehyde with the desired amine in the presence of a dehydrating agent such as magnesium sulfate, sodium sulfate, or molecular sieves, in a suitable solvent such as carbon tetrachloride, methylene chloride, benzene or toluene (for example see, Modern Synthetic Reactions 2nd ed. House, H. O., Benjamin/Cummings Publishing Co., Menlo Park, Calif., 1972.). The imine is subsequently reduced using one of a variety of reducing agents such as sodium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride, or sodium triacetoxyborohydride, in a suitable solvent such as methanol, ethanol, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane or 1,2-dichloroethane, to provide the desired amine. Subsequent saponification of the ester using conventional methods known to one skilled in the art of organic synthesis gives the desired acids. In the case of tert-butyl esters the acid may be produced either by the action of trifluoroacetic acid with or without an inert solvent such as methylene chloride, or by the action of anhydrous HCl in a solvent such as ether or dioxane. Coupling of the resulting acids to appropriately substituted α- or β-amino esters affords an intermediate which can be deprotected to give compounds of Formulae I-IV. The coupling is carried out using any of the many methods for the formation of amide bonds known to one skilled in the art of organic synthesis. These methods include but are not limited to conversion of the acid to the corresponding acid chloride, or use of standard coupling procedures such as the azide method, mixed carbonic acid anhydride(isobutyl chloroformate) method, carbodiimide(dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, diisopropylcarbodiimide, or water-soluble carbodiimides) method, active ester (p-nitrophenyl ester, N-hydroxysuccinic imido ester) method, carbonyldiimidazole method, phosphorus reagents such as BOP-Cl. Some of these methods (especially the carbodiimide) can be enhanced by the addition of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole. Global deprotection of the remaining protecting groups may be accomplished by methods known to one skilled in the art (for example see, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis 2nd,ed. Greene, T. W., and Wuts, P. G. M., John Wiley & Sons, Inc. New York, 1991.). ##STR37##

The compounds of the present invention wherein Y is an oxyalkoxy group, e.g. alkoxycarbonyloxyalkoxy, may be prepared by reacting a suitably protected carboxylic acid of Formulae I-IV with an e.g. an alkoxycarbonyloxyalkyl chloride in the presence of an iodide source, such as tetrabutylammonium iodide or potassium iodide, and an acid scavenger, such as triethylamine or potassium carbonate, using procedures known to those skilled in the art.

As an alternative to the quinolone synthesis outlined above, the quinolone nucleus may be formed using the route illustrated in Scheme II. Similar methodology for the preparation of quinolones was first described in German patent application DE3142854. Starting from a 4-bromo-3-fluoro-benzoyl chloride, condensation with malonic acid monoethyl ester monopotassium salt gives a benzoyl acetate that is subsequently reacted with triethyl orthoformate. The resulting ethoxymethylene derivative is reacted with a primary amine and cyclized to the quinolone. ##STR38##

The appropriately substituted racemic β-amino acids may be purchased commercially or, as is shown in Scheme III, Method 1, prepared from the appropriate aldehyde, malonic acid and ammonium acetate according to the procedure of Johnson and Livak, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1936, 58, 299. Racemic β-substituted-β-amino esters may be prepared through the reaction of dialkylcuprates or alkyllithiums with 4-benzoyloxy-2-azetidinone followed by treatment with anhydrous ethanol (Scheme III, Method 2) or by reductive amination of β-keto esters as is described in published PCT patent application WO9316038 (see also Rico et al., J. Org. Chem. 1993, 58, 7948-51). Enantiomerically pure β-substituted-β-amino acids can be obtained through the optical resolution of the racemic mixture or can be prepared using numerous methods, including: Arndt-Eistert homologation of the corresponding α-amino acids as shown in Scheme III, Method 3 (see Meier, and Zeller, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 1975, 14, 32; Rodriguez, et al. Tetrahedron Lett. 1990, 31, 5153; Greenlee, J. Med. Chem. 1985, 28, 434 and references cited within); and through an enantioselective hydrogenation of a dehydroamino acid as is shown in Scheme III, Method 4 (see Asymmetric Synthesis, Vol. 5, (Morrison, ed.) Academic Press, New York, 1985). A comprehensive treatise on the preparation of β-amino acid derivatives may be found in published PCT patent application WO 9307867, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. ##STR39##

The synthesis of N² -substituted diaminopropionic acid derivatives can be carried out via Hoffman rearrangement of a wide variety of asparagine derivatives as described in Waki, M., et al., Synthesis, 266-268, (1981).

A convenient preparation of suitably protected 2-aminoimidazoles is outlined in Scheme IV. ##STR40##

Additional compounds of Formulae I-IV where R⁹ is N(R¹⁶)R¹⁷ can be prepared from the compounds of Scheme I, wherein R¹⁶ is Cbz (benzyloxycarbonyl),is shown in Scheme V. Selective removal of the Cbz group may be accomplished by hydrogenation using palladium on carbon in a suitable solvent such as methanol or ethanol.

The resulting amines can be converted to additional compound of Formulae I-IV by treatment with a wide variety of reagents, for example, acyl halides, chloroformates, isocyanates, sulfonylchlorides, chlorosulfonamides, and sulfonylisocyanates, etc. using standard methods. ##STR41##

Scheme VI illustrates a synthetic sequence which will provide the naphthyridines of this invention. Reaction of 2,4-dichloronicotinic acid with phosphorus pentachloride provides the acid chloride which reacts with ethyl malonate giving nicotinyl acetate. Reaction of nicotinyl acetate with ethyl orthoformate provides ethoxyethylene malonate, which then reacts with the desired amine, resulting in intermediate which can be cyclized in the presence of a base such as sodium hydride or potassium carbonate to yield the desired 6-chloronaphthyridine. (J. Med. Chem. 1992, 35, 518-525). Coupling of the desired 6-chloronaphthyridine with tributylvinyltin provides an olefin, 6-vinylnaphthyridine, (J. Heterocyclic chem. 1991, 28, 191) upon which further synthetic transformation as in Scheme I affords the naphthyridines of this invention. ##STR42##

Utility

The compounds of Formula I-IV of the present invention possess activity as antagonists of integrins such as, for example, the α_(v) β₃ or vitronectin receptor, α_(v) β₅ or α₅ β₁, and as such have utility in the treatment and diagnosis of cell. adhesion, angiogenic disorders, inflammation, bone degradation, cancer metastases, diabetic retinopathy, thrombosis, restenosis, macular degeneration, and other conditions mediated by cell adhesion and/or cell migration and/or angiogenesis. The integrin antagonist activity of the compounds of the present invention is demonstrated using assays which measure the binding of a specific integrin to a native ligand, for example, using the ELISA assay described below for the binding of vitronectin to the α_(v) β₃ receptor.

The compounds of the present invention possess selectivity for the α_(v) β₃ receptor relative to the GPIIb/IIIa receptor as demonstrated by their reduced activity in standard assays of platelet aggregation, such as the platelet aggregation assay described below.

One of the major roles of integrins in vivo is to mediate cellular interactions with adjacent cells. Cell based adhesion assays can be used to mimic these interactions in vitro. A cell based assay is more representative of the in vivo situation than an ELISA since the receptor is maintained in membranes in the native state. The compounds of the present invention have activity in cell-based assays of adhesion, for example as demonstrated in using the cell adhesion assays described below.

The compounds of Formula I-IV of the present invention may be useful for the treatment or prevention of other diseases which involve cell adhesion processes, including, but not limited to, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune disorders, bone degradation, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, allergies, adult respiratory distress syndrome, graft versus host disease, organ transplantation, septic shock, psoriasis, eczema, contact dermatitis, osteoarthritis, atherosclerosis, metastasis, wound healing, inflammatory bowel disease and other angiogenic disorders.

The compounds of Formula I-IV have the ability to suppress/inhibit angiogenesis in vivo, for example, as demonstrated using animal models of ocular neovascularization.

The compounds provided by this invention are also useful as standards and reagents in determining the ability of a potential pharmaceutical to inhibit integrin-ligand binding. These may be provided in a commercial kit comprising a compound of this invention.

As used herein "μg" denotes microgram, "mg" denotes milligram, "g" denotes gram, "μL" denotes microliter, "mL" denotes milliliter, "L" denotes liter, "nM" denotes nanomolar, "μM" denotes micromolar, "mM" denotes millimolar, "M" denotes molar and "nm" denotes nanometer. "Sigma" stands for the Sigma-Aldrich Corp. of St. Louis, Mo.

The utility of the compounds of the present invention may be assessed by testing in one or more of the following assays as described in detail below: Purified α_(v) β₃ (human placenta)--Vitronectin ELISA, α_(v) β₃ -Vitronectin Binding Assay, Human Aortic Smooth Muscle Cell Migration Assay, In Vivo Angiogenesis Model, Pig Restenosis Model, Mouse Retinopathy Model. A compound of the present invention is considered to be active if it has an IC₅₀ or K_(i) value of less than about 10 μM for the inhibition of α_(v) β₃ -Vitronectin Binding Assay, with compounds preferably having K_(i) values of less than about 0.1 μM. Tested compounds of the present invention are active in the α_(v) β₃ -Vitronectin Binding Assay.

Purified α_(v) β₃ (human placenta)--Vitronectin ELISA

The α_(v) β₃ receptor was isolated from human placental extracts prepared using octylglucoside. The extracts were passed over an affinity column composed of anti-α_(v) β₃ monoclonal antibody (LM609) bound to Affigel. The column was subsequently washed extensively at pH 7 and pH 4.5 followed by elution at pH 3. The resulting sample was concentrated by wheat germ agglutinin chromatography to provide two bands by SDS gel electrophoresis which were confirmed as α_(v) β₃ by western blotting.

Affinity purified protein was diluted at different levels and plated to 96 well plates. ELISA was performed using fixed concentration of biotinylated vitronectin (approximately 80 nM/well). This receptor preparation contains the α_(v) β₃ with no detectable levels of α_(v) β₅ according to the gel and according to effects of blocking antibodies for the α_(v) β₃ or α_(v) β₅ integrins in the ELISA.

A submaximal concentration of biotinylated vitronectin was selected based on a concentration response curve with fixed receptor concentration and variable concentrations of biotinylated vitronectin.

α_(v) β₃ -Vitronectin Binding Assay

The purified receptor is diluted with coating buffer (20 mM Tris HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 2.0 mM CaCl₂, 1.0 mM MgCl₂.6H₂ O, 1.0 mM MnCl₂.4H₂ O) and coated (100 μL/well) on Costar (3590) high capacity binding plates overnight at 4° C. The coating solution is discarded and the plates washed once with blocking/binding buffer (B/B buffer, 50 mM Tris HCl, 100 mM NaCl, 2.0 mM CaCl₂,1.0 mM MgCl₂.6H₂ O,1.0 mM MnCl₂.4H₂ O). Receptor is then blocked (200 μL/well) with 3.5% BSA in B/B buffer for 2 hours at room temperature. After washing once with 1.0% BSA in B/B buffer, biotinylated vitronectin (100 μL) and either inhibitor (11 μL) or B/B buffer w/1.0% BSA (11 μL)is added to each well. The plates are incubated 2 hours at room temperature. The plates are washed twice with B/B buffer and incubated 1 hour at room temperature with anti-biotin alkaline phosphatase (100 μL/well) in B/B buffer containing 1.0% BSA. The plates are washed twice with B/B buffer and alkaline phosphatase substrate (100 μL) is added. Color is developed at room temperature. Color development is stopped by addition of 2N NaOH (25 μL/well) and absorbance is read at 405 nm. The IC₅₀ is the concentration of test substance needed to block 50% of the vitronectin binding to the receptor.

Integrin Cell-Based Adhesion Assays

In the adhesion assays, a 96 well plate was coated with the ligand (i.e., fibrinogen) and incubated overnight at 4° C. The following day, the cells were harvested, washed and loaded with a fluorescent dye. Test compounds and cells were added together and then were immediately added to the coated plate. After incubation, loose cells are removed from the plate, and the plate (with adherent cells) is counted on a fluorometer. The ability of test compounds to inhibit cell adhesion by 50% is given by the IC₅₀ value and represents a measure of potency of inhibition of integrin mediated binding. Compounds were tested for their ability to block cell adhesion using assays specific for α_(v) β₃, α_(v) β₅ and α₅ β₁ integrin interactions.

Platelet Aggregation Assay

Venous blood was obtained from anesthetized mongrel dogs or from healthy human donors who were drug- and aspirin-free for at least two weeks prior to blood collection. Blood was collected into citrated Vacutainer tubes. The blood was centrifuged for 15 minutes at 150×g (850 RPM in a Sorvall RT6000 Tabletop Centrifuge with H-1000 B rotor) at room temperature, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was removed. The remaining blood was centrifuged for 15 minutes at 1500×g (26,780 RPM) at room temperature, and platelet-poor plasma (PPP) was removed. Samples were assayed on a PAP-4 Platelet Aggregation Profiler, using PPP as the blank (100% transmittance). 200 μL of PRP (5×10⁸ platelets/mL) were added to each micro test tube, and transmittance was set to 0%. 20 μL of ADP (10 μM) was added to each tube, and the aggregation profiles were plotted (% transmittance versus time). Test agent (20 μL) was added at different concentrations prior to the addition of the platelet agonist. Results are expressed as % inhibition of agonist-induced platelet aggregation.

Dosage and Formulation

The compounds of this invention can be administered by any means that produces contact of the active agent with the agent's site of action, the α_(v) β₃ integrin, in the body of a mammal. They can be administered by any conventional means available for use in conjunction with pharmaceuticals, either as individual therapeutic agents or in a combination of therapeutic agents, such as a antiplatelet agent such as aspirin, piroxicam, or ticlopidine which are agonist-specific, or an anti-coagulant such as warfarin or heparin, or a thrombin inhibitor such as a boropeptide, hirudin or argatroban, or a thrombolytic agent such as tissue plasminogen activator, anistreplase, urokinase or streptokinase, or combinations thereof. The compounds of the invention, or compounds of the invention in combination with other therapeutic agents, can be administered alone, but generally administered with a pharmaceutical carrier selected on the basis of the chosen route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice.

The dosage of the novel compounds of this invention administered will, of course, vary depending upon known factors, such as the pharmacodynamic characteristics of the particular agent and its mode and route of administration; the age, health and weight of the recipient; the nature and extent of the symptoms; the kind of concurrent treatment; the frequency of treatment; and the effect desired. A daily dosage of active ingredient can be expected to be about 0.001 to 10 milligrams per kilogram of body weight.

Dosage forms (compositions suitable for administration) contain from about 0.1 milligram to about 100 milligrams of active ingredient per unit. In these pharmaceutical compositions the active ingredient will ordinarily be present in an amount of about 0.5-95% by weight based on the total weight of the composition.

The active ingredient can be administered orally in solid dosage forms, such as capsules, tablets, and powders, or in liquid dosage forms, such as elixirs, syrups, and suspensions. It can also be administered parenterally, in sterile liquid dosage forms.

Gelatin capsules contain the active ingredient and powdered carriers, such as lactose, starch, cellulose derivatives, magnesium stearate, stearic acid, and the like. Similar diluents can be used to make compressed tablets. Both tablets and capsules can be manufactured as sustained release products to provide for continuous release of medication over a period of hours. Compressed tablets can be sugar coated or film coated to mask any unpleasant taste and protect the tablet from the atmosphere, or enteric coated for selective disintegration in the gastrointestinal tract.

Liquid dosage forms for oral administration can contain coloring and flavoring to increase patient acceptance.

In general, water, a suitable oil, saline, aqueous dextrose (glucose), and related sugar solutions and glycols such as propylene glycol or polyethylene glycols are suitable carriers for parenteral solutions. Solutions for parenteral administration preferably contain a water soluble salt of the active ingredient, suitable stabilizing agents, and if necessary, buffer substances. Antioxidizing agents such as sodium bisulfite, sodium sulfite, or ascorbic acid, either alone or combined, are suitable stabilizing agents. Also used are citric acid and its salts and sodium EDTA. In addition, parenteral solutions can contain preservatives, such as benzalkonium chloride, methyl- or propyl-paraben, and chlorobutanol.

Suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Company, a standard reference text in this field.

Useful pharmaceutical dosage-forms for administration of the compounds of this invention can be illustrated as follows:

Capsules

A large number of unit capsules are prepared by filling standard two-piece hard gelatin capsules each with 10 milligrams of powdered active ingredient, 150 milligrams of lactose, 50 milligrams of cellulose, and 6 milligrams magnesium stearate.

Soft Gelatin Capsules

A mixture of active ingredient in a digestable oil such as soybean oil, cottonseed oil or olive oil is prepared and injected by means of a positive displacement pump into gelatin to form soft gelatin capsules containing 10 milligrams of the active ingredient. The capsules are washed and dried.

Tablets

A large number of tablets are prepared by conventional procedures so that the dosage unit was 10 milligrams of active ingredient, 0.2 milligrams of colloidal silicon dioxide, 5 milligrams of magnesium stearate, 275 milligrams of microcrystalline cellulose, 11 milligrams of starch and 98.8 milligrams of lactose. Appropriate coatings may be applied to increase palatability or delay absorption.

The combination products of this invention, such as the novel α_(v) β₃ antagonist compounds of this invention in combination with an anti-coagulant agent such as warfarin or heparin, or an anti-platelet agent such as aspirin, piroxicam or ticlopidine, or a thrombin inhibitor such as a boropeptide, hirudin or argatroban, or a thrombolytic agent such as tissue plasminogen activator, anistreplase, urokinase or streptokinase, or combinations thereof, can be in any dosage form, such as those described above, and can also be administered in various ways, as described above.

In a preferred embodiment, the combination products of the invention are formulated together, in a single dosage form (that is, combined together in one capsule, tablet, powder, or liquid, etc.). When the combination products are not formulated together in a single dosage form, the α_(v) β₃ antagonist compounds of this invention and the anti-coagulant agent, anti-platelet agent, thrombin inhibitor, and/or thrombolytic agent may be administered at the same time (that is, together), or in any order, for example the compounds of this invention are administered first, followed by administration of the anti-coagulant agent, anti-platelet agent, thrombin inhibitor, and/or thrombolytic agent. When not administered at the same time, preferably the administration of the compound of this invention and any anti-coagulant agent, anti-platelet agent, thrombin inhibitor, and/or thrombolytic agent occurs less than about one hour apart, more preferably less than about 30 minutes apart, even more preferably less than about 15 minutes apart, and most preferably less than about 5 minutes apart. Preferably, administration of the combination products of the invention is oral. The terms oral agent, oral inhibitor, oral compound, or the like, as used herein, denote compounds which may be orally administered. Although it is preferable that the α_(v) β₃ antagonist compounds of this invention and the anti-coagulant agent, anti-platelet agent, thrombin inhibitor, and/or thrombolytic agent are both administered in the same fashion (that is, for example, both orally), if desired, they may each be administered in different fashions (that is, for example, one component of the combination product may be administered orally, and another component may be administered intravenously). The dosage of the combination products of the invention may vary depending upon various factors such as the pharmacodynamic characteristics of the particular agent and its mode and route of administration, the age, health and weight of the recipient, the nature and extent of the symptoms, the kind of concurrent treatment, the frequency of treatment, and the effect desired, as described above.

As discussed above, where two or more of the foregoing therapeutic agents are combined or co-administered with the compounds of this invention, generally the amount of each component in a typical daily dosage and typical dosage form may be reduced relative to the usual dosage of the agent when administered alone, in view of the additive or synergistic effect which would be obtained as a result of addition of further agents in accordance with the present invention.

Particularly when provided as a single dosage form, the potential exists for a chemical interaction between the combined active ingredients (for example, a novel compound of this invention and an anti-coagulant such as warfarin or heparin, or a novel compound of this invention and an anti-platelet agent such as aspirin, piroxicam or ticlopidine, or a novel compound of this invention and a thrombin inhibitor such as a boropeptide, hirudin or argatroban, or a novel compound of this invention and a thrombolytic agent such as tissue plasminogen activator, anistreplase, urokinase or streptokinase, or combinations thereof). For this reason, the preferred dosage forms of the combination products of this invention are formulated such that although the active ingredients are combined in a single dosage form, the physical contact between the active ingredients is minimized (that is, reduced).

In order to minimize contact, one embodiment of this invention where the product is orally administered provides for a combination product wherein one active ingredient is enteric coated. By enteric coating one of the active ingredients, it is possible not only to minimize the contact between the combined active ingredients, but also, it is possible to control the release of one of these components in the gastrointestinal tract such that one of these components is not released in the stomach but rather is released in the intestines. Another embodiment of this invention where oral administration is desired provides for a combination product wherein one of the active ingredients is coated with a sustained-release material which effects a sustained-release throughout the gastrointestinal tract and also serves to minimize physical contact between the combined active ingredients. Furthermore, the sustained-released component can be additionally enteric coated such that the release of this component occurs only in the intestine. Still another approach would involve the formulation of a combination product in which the one component is coated with a sustained and/or enteric release polymer, and the other component is also coated with a polymer such as a low viscosity grade of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) or other appropriate materials as known in the art, in order to further separate the active components. The polymer coating serves to form an additional barrier to interaction with the other component.

Dosage forms of the combination products of the present invention wherein one active ingredient is enteric coated can be in the form of tablets such that the enteric coated component and the other active ingredient are blended together and then compressed into a tablet or such that the enteric coated component is compressed into one tablet layer and the other active ingredient is compressed into an additional layer. Optionally, in order to further separate the two layers, one or more placebo layers may be present such that the placebo layer is between the layers of active ingredients. In addition, dosage forms of the present invention can be in the form of capsules wherein one active ingredient is compressed into a tablet or in the form of a plurality of microtablets, particles, granules or non-perils, which are then enteric coated.
